Another great bunch of Lambsfoot pictures to go along with my morning coffee. Thanks guys.

 

[Half/Stop]

A magnificent deep black ebony Ron.

Thanks Dave!

A whole group of lovely Lambsfoot pictures to wake up to. Thanks for posting them, everybody.

Thanks John!

Good Morning Guardians, here's one of my own...

John your Ironwood is really beautiful in the sunshine!

Good day Guardians! I've not had much time to post, and keeping up with reading has been difficult, too. But I'm popping in for a post and hope ya'll are doing well.

Joshua articulates my situation very well, although I do manage to keep up with reading this thread; I love the wide-ranging topics addressed here, but by the time I read everything, I seem to have little time left for the "large" posts I used to make. Like Joshua, I'll say hello and wish everyone well. Great pics of your ironwood lambsfoot, Joshua!

... I wasn't expecting anyone to know Shady Grove, That CD cover is from Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. One of my favorites.

...

I also recognized "Shady Grove", Preston, but the version I know is from the album of the same name by Quicksilver Messenger Service!

Wishing my fellow Guardians a fantastic Thursday that leads to a fruitful Friday and a fabulous weekend.

Mine is off to a good start already with a few of my favorite things.

Great photo, Greg!

...
Thanks all who wished me a speedy recovery from my bike crash. I am ok, just a little sore.
Plus, it is hard to not blame myself a little bit, I was riding a brake-less track bike, on the street, in the rain.
...

Glad you're doing OK, FBC, and I suppose you CAN share some of the blame!! Almost everyone I know who bikes regularly has crashed at least once, it seems. Thanks for the pic of your machine.

It's final! my ironwood lambsfoot will be called "The Totem"

Fantastic name choice, Dave!

...
I think the Rocket is at MOSI for a few more months yet, in case you find yourself anywhere near Manchester.
...

Thanks for the pics of the Rocket, David. Any idea why that name was given? I think of "rocket" as an aerial means of transport that didn't come about until 20th century, so Rocket for a train engine struck me as way ahead of its time!

RALF asked me a question today for which I had no good answer. He said he doesn't have a bad side, so why have I never taken a photo of him from the back? All I could do was acquiesce, and a bit sheepishly at that! Of course, he was right.

Great pic, Jeff! I hope RALF doesn't take this wrong, but he's got a good-looking backside!

In the mouth of the mask...

Interesting photo, Senhor José! Your stag lambsfoot is very appealing.

...
Morning Guardians, Friday is here! I'm slipping the big ebony in my pocket

Big ebony is impressive in that red/black tableau, Jack!

...
I'm just heading out to work but in keeping with the tribal theme here's a Javanese Dancing Girl. This young lady must be about 80 years old now.

Hope everyone has a great Friday.

Splendid photo, David!

...
Here’s a couple from County Donegal, the neighbouring county to the west of Tyrone:

...
The stack of faces reminded me of this sinister shaman-suit from the Sepik Vale culture in Papua New Guinea.

...

Chin, I've enjoyed your many fine pics of Ireland (as well as the recent ones related to your great great grandfather - every man should have a swivel cannon). The shaman-suit reminds me of the image on a Douk-Douk.

Gooood morning Guardians! I’m totin the little brother to Jack’s Bigun today! Y’all have a great day!

Black Beauty, Ron!

Morning Guardians! Ashleys Choice today.

Good morning (and afternoon) Guardians. Have a good one.View attachment 1095924

Dave & Dwight, your ACs are more that A-OK!!

Good Morning Guardians, here's one of my own...

Good to see Sköll on a pole, John!

Another splendid pic of your ironwood, Mark!

My lambsfoot this week has been Black Jack, my 2018 ebony Guardians lambsfoot:

A good Friday morning to you Guardians! What a pleasure to come here and see great Lamb Foot knives, the fabulous photos of them make it even better. Good way to start the morning. I have errands to run today and Iron Mike will accompany me.

 

[WhittlinAway]

Great stuff Greg

WhittlinAway Excellent Image.

Great photo, Greg!

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

Beautiful photo, knife and spoon, Greg. Is the spoon your own work?

Thanks Chin. No, that scoop was made by a carver named Tom Bartlett. I'm not yet capable of that level of precision. It's a wonderful piece of work and when you hold it in your hand you can feel the skill and confidence that went into its construction. It's perfectly sized so that a heaping scoop of beans is just the right amount to go into the grinder for a double shot of espresso. It's hard to explain what a delight that is when I'm making coffee in the morning.

 

[JohnDF]

Sköll!

Cheers.

Good to see Sköll on a pole, John!

Always nice when you pop in, GT.

I love the rich coloring on Iron Mike.

 

[Prester John]

Good to see you here, Gary. I was starting to worry! This thread does move right along.

Glad you're doing OK, FBC, and I suppose you CAN share some of the blame!! Almost everyone I know who bikes regularly has crashed at least once, it seems. Thanks for the pic of your machine.

I know I've had my share of crashes. Thank God I was wearing my helmet last time: I landed face first, but the protusion on the front of the helmet kept my nose and glasses from being damaged!
Kevin does have a good looking bike.

Thanks for the pics of the Rocket, David. Any idea why that name was given? I think of "rocket" as an aerial means of transport that didn't come about until 20th century, so Rocket for a train engine struck me as way ahead of its time!

I suspect fireworks rockets have been around a long time. They even had them in the Shire! And Handel had some Royal Fireworks music. Of course, the Chinese....

My lambsfoot this week has been Black Jack, my 2018 ebony Guardians lambsfoot:

Nice patina on the Black Jack.
Hope you have a great weekend, Gary.


[Hey, look, Ma! I'm multi-posting!]

I'm getting excited my friend --- excited for a lambsfoot!

Youll love it my friend

Good morning Guardians my "19" has arrived. It's spectacular, then I post photos...

That's good news Pt

Good Morning Guardians, here's one of my own...

That's a handsome looking Lambsfoot John.

I think Old Stumpy deserves a name.

Jer I'm thinking you should call it Bob.

Good morning (and afternoon) Guardians. Have a good one.

A mighty fine Ashely Dwight.

Can't wait to see it, sir!

Mark that's a lovely photo.

Fantastic name choice, Dave!

Thanks, GT it is isn't it.

Dave & Dwight, your ACs are more that A-OK!!

Thank you, good Sir.

[Hey, look, Ma! I'm multi-posting!]

Good job, Vince.

That's a handsome looking Lambsfoot John.

Thanks, Dave.

Sorry to hear that mate. I had a hiatal hernia, and that was one of the worst things - not being able to enjoy hot, spicy foods. Since getting it fixed, I’ve been making up for lost time! I recall Nexium helped too.

Thanks pal, I'm sorry to hear you had the same problem, but the fact that you can now enjoy the food you love once again, does give me hope for the future

Here’s a couple from County Donegal, the neighbouring county to the west of Tyrone:

Spectacularly beautiful photos my friend

I uncovered this old pic of my great great grandfathers traditional Chinese funeral when I was in Malaysia:

He must have been quite a character, the sort of figure described by tabloid papers as a ‘colourful identity’.

Here’s a swivel cannon he had - I guess originally from a Portuguese, Dutch or English ship:

The stack of faces reminded me of this sinister shaman-suit from the Sepik Vale culture in Papua New Guinea.

Amazing Chin

Great pic, Jack! I think I need a big-un!



That dancing girl is exquisite!


Great pics, Chin! I have really enjoyed all the lovely colors your peppers have provided. Makes me excited to get mine started!


Can't wait to see it, sir!

Thanks Mark, perhaps we should commission a special Big 'Un run at some point! That's a beautiful photo there

Gooood morning Guardians! I’m totin the little brother to Jack’s Bigun today! Y’all have a great day!

Looking good Ron

The Totem seems to be working its magic, one day at a time.

That's good to hear Dave

Love the biggie, Jack, have a great day.

Thanks my friend, you too

Morning Guardians! Ashleys Choice today.

I think Old Stumpy deserves a name.

Like Old Stumpy.

Not a totem, but here's the closest I could come up with

 

[Jack Black]

The big ebony. Man I love these ebony lambs. Jack is there a hernia repair procedure in your future?

Beautiful carving David.

Good morning (and afternoon) Guardians. Have a good one.View attachment 1095924

That's pretty cool OG

 

[OLd_gUY]

I guess it's no secret that I like music so with that in mind, here's my attempt at bringing some of my fav's your way.
Check out how the tone arm bounces in time to the beat.
This is a Direct to disk recording!!
(that's my grandfather's phonograph and my grandmother's doll)

 

[DelOro]

@OLd_gUY

Outstanding!

Personally, I never joined the compact disc revolution.

No iPod stuff either.

Go vinyl or go home!
